Format MS Word Like a Ninja Super Hero!

View more documents from gwyneth jonesDoes it ever seem that when your students go into the computer lab to compose & to write they've forgotten EVERYTHING they ever learned about formatting their MS Word documents? You get docs with wonky space bar spacing, 18pt comic sans (ick!), left justified headings, and strangely double spaced pages! Eeep! I know, right? I see proof of this working with my teachers, walking through the lab, and when kids come to me in the library to print out their work in the mornings & it's an assortment of crazy ill-spaced, scary fonted, and oddly sized docs, docx, and rtfs!

Just in case. If I say something stupid in the future, it’s better to be able to point out that the stupidity is mine, and mine alone. My stupidity! You can’t have it! :)

I love hearing from my readers and I welcome their emails with cool questions, great tips, effusive compliments, and offers to speak in exotic locations with luxury suites, Tropical Skittles, and a driver picking me up at the airport. (Hey! A girl can dream, right!?) However, if you email me a question that could have been easily answered by searching this blog or by Googling "your desired topic" and "Daring Librarian" I reserve the right be a little snarky and to tease you - gently.
